Blue Skies

Joondalup Health Campus is pleased to be in partnership with Silver Chain to offer the initiative Blue Skies, which is a workshop aimed at promoting healthy grieving for children who are bereaved.

Blue Skies is an innovative program developed by palliative care social workers, for children aged between eight and twelve years old, who are grieving the loss of a parent or primary caregiver. 

Blue Skies provides a safe, fun-filled and supportive environment connecting children who are grieving, and teaches them how to feel safe to speak about their feelings. The program aims to assist children in recognising, naming and developing awareness of the variety of emotions associated with death, and expressing these emotions. Bringing children together who are experiencing a similar life change also reduces the isolation associated with a bereavement and enables them to give and receive support in a shared creative environment.

 

HBF Run for Reason

After the success of the inaugural HBF Run for a Reason, presented by The West Australian, the event returns on Sunday 22nd May 2011 with plans to be bigger and better!

Everybody has a reason to run, walk, jog or stroll in the 2011 HBF Run for a Reason. You might want to keep fit and healthy, achieve your personal best, challenge yourself or your friends, or raise money for your choice of six fantastic WA charities (Asthma Foundation of WA, Heart Foundation WA, Cancer Council WA, Arthritis WA, Lifeline WA and Diabetes WA).

In 2011, there is also another reason – you can enter to support your choice of North or South of the river. Celebrate Perth's friendly rivalry and see which side comes out on top!

Whatever your reason, make sure you get involved. Enter the Act-Belong-Commit 4.5km or 14km categories. Both events start and finish amongst the buzzing atmosphere of the WACA and will take you past some of Perth's most iconic spots, with plenty of entertainment along the way.

Why not challenge your colleagues, patients, family and friends to participate? Enter the Ramsay Team Challenge and win! There are prizes for the largest team and for the team that raises the highest fundraising amount.

This is the perfect opportunity to motivate those within your organisation to get fit and healthy!

To register visit any HBF Branch or hbfrun.com.au.

 

Relay for life
Joondalup Health Campus became sponsors for Relay for Life, an initiative promoted by the Cancer Council of WA, in 2008. Relay for Life represents the hope that those lost to cancer will be remembered, those going through cancer will be supported and that one day cancer will be eliminated.

It is an event which touches people’s hearts like no other. It is a fun, outdoor, overnight fundraising event where teams of 10 -15 people take turns to walk or run relay-style around their local oval for 24 hours.

In 2008, JHC had eight teams, which consisted of over 100 staff members from the hospital, participate. They each raised money for the cause, some organised quiz nights and raffles in order to donate funds.

 

Valentine’s Day Concert
The City of Joondalup holds an annual Valentine’s Day Concert as part of a series of free outdoor summer concerts. It has proved to be one of WA’s premier community events and attracted over 8,000 local residents.

The popular concert has featured an impressive line-up of headline acts including The Whitlams and the Western Australian Youth Orchestra (WAYO) (2011), Australian entertainer and musical theatre star David Campbell (2010) and ARIA award winner and multi-platinum recording artist Damien Leith (2009).

The 2012 Valentine’s Concert will be held on Thursday 9 February and will feature Australian blues & roots/soul artist Dan Sultan, who in addition to earning a swag of awards including two ARIA Awards for Best Blues and Roots Album and Male Artist of the Year also featured in the 2010 film production of Bran Nue Dae alongside Jessica Mauboy, Deb Mailman and Ernie Dingo.

Joondalup Health Campus believes free community events such as the Valentine’s Day Concert are integral in maintaining the thriving multicultural city that is Joondalup and are proud to be Premier Sponsors of the event.
